The rain would not stay away, but spirits were not dampened at the series-opening Sundaes Outside event at Be\u2019er Sheva Park on Sunday, May 15.<\/p>\n

The \u201ccelebration of Black Folks and the Outdoors,\u201d across from Rainier Beach High School in south Seattle, featured live performances, a marketplace, and outdoor recreation workshops \u2014 as well as ice cream, of course.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
